Mombo Camp highly rated by Travel + Leisure magazine

This is the tenth anniversary collection of the 500 top-rated hotels from around the world as selected by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine. Every year, the magazine's readers vote on thousands of hotels based on rooms, location, service, food, and value.

Botswana is one of Africa's foremost wildlife and ecotourism destinations and one that embraces the "low volume, high revenue" model. Mombo says that the honour is particularly pleasing as Botswana is Wilderness' birthplace and the conservation of the Okavango Delta of primary importance to the company. In addition, a cutting-edge solar farm is currently being established at Mombo, meaning that the generator and the burning of fossil fuel will become completely obsolete - thus proving that it is possible to be luxurious and have a lighter footprint on the Earth.

The Top 500 features in Travel + Leisure magazine's January 2012 issue.
